Fire Fighting


what did I learn?
preplanned-identifying
-elimination

-controlling hazards and risks

-what to do when the fire alarm does go off.
Positives
  • we learnt what equipment to use.
  • teaching was quick and thorough.
  • learnt how important it is to have equipment that fits you well in order to cover and protect your whole body.
  • we learnt how to use the available equipment.
  • that we must help each other to get ready and get gear that fits us properly in a rushed situation.
  • we had lots of fun and laughs.
  • everyone understood what the facilitator told us.
Negatives
  • it was really hot it made us aware of how hot it will be running around in a fire in thick fire protective suits.
  • jugging the cloths sizes was really hard.
  • water packs are awfully heavy.
I can now
  • do a veld fire drill on Sondela.
  • use and replace equipment as i found it.
  • use appropriate equipment without causing damage to myself or other fire fighters.
  • use the fire hose and assist in unrolling and rolling it from and back onto the truck.
